You mean algol, Ivy, hilde, sophitia and apprentice (BS throw break)?
That's 5 characters who are stupidly powerful in sc4.
In sc3, it was just sophitia and X who dominated the rest. And hwang is not all that he's cracked up to be, even with 3AAB, which in my opinion isn't even his best move. Sure he's strong, but nowhere near broken as so many people claim.
Seriously, If you DON'T do VC, sc3 wasn't all that unbalanced (arguably, with VC the game is MORE balanced)
Taking all these things into consideration, I definitely feel like sc3 was more balanced. Sc2 had them all beat when It came to balance.
So...why in the hell do you have Sophie up there with those characters? I just had to point this out, that's ridiculous.
Hwang's best move was 3AA, you can't argue that (the use of it combined with the threat of it).
Sc3 was pretty well balanced with or without VC (arguably with VC the game is MORE balanced)
For SC5, I'm not looking for it to be as good as sc3, cause sc3 to me is the best fighting....err, best game ever made. I just want the online to be good, and the speed to be increased back to the level of either sc3 or sc2. Other than that, the closer they make the game to sc3, the better.
And please no more putting in characters that don't belong in the game (Algol's bubbles, Apprentice's breaks, Amy's cuntishness, Hilde's bullshit, Yoda).
GI's input should be EXACTLY the same as it has been, and low GI should be the same.
I want the game to come out and Thugish be like, "Oh shit, I don't know who to pick!!! I can't find a character who's broken! What do I do?"
p.s: sc3's X isn't broken, just the best character, there's a difference. And Sophie may have been more dominant in tourneys, but Setsuka was a better character.
